Let’s play a new game: Is it racist? Yes. Yes it is. In other news, Dick Clark is an animated corpse and Carlos Santana is high as a kite. The government also spent the week killing freedom, outlawing the Internet, and murdering puppies. Go ahead, try to figure which of those things didn’t happen.

redux — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:13:36 +0000

Zee tells us a tale of the Boot from the great beyond, recommends that we address the Mo’s family jewels, and Borders is about to die (though mostly due to their lack of jerkins). In other news, the Oscars are coming up, and the crew all agree that Toy Story 3 is the scariest horror movie of the last decade.

redux — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:03:06 +0000

The testosterone-challenged members of the Dead Air crew conquer the show this week with an especially estrogenated episode. Lady Gaga and her insanity are our topic tonight, and the mysterious power she holds over the hearts and minds of America make us increasingly fearful for our sanity. Also, we discuss the glory that is the new iPhone and iPad, and what happened to our dildo.

Another summer movie episode? We know it’s what you look forward to most each year and, well, we wouldn’t want to disappoint. How much money will you be forfeiting over to the movie studios this summer? How little originality is left in Hollywood? How small is Megan Fox’s waist this year? You’ll need to listen to find out.

redux — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:13:10 +0000

It’s Valentine’s Dy (or VD, as we like to call it), which is usually a pretty bad time for our crew. You know – depression, crying, abject despair. And those are the crew members who are in relationships. For those of us who are a little lonelier, well, things can get a little hairy.

Season 7 – Episode 12 • What Hath God Wrought?

FestivusPoles.com has a handy Greivance Form that you can print out and use (scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the PDF).

Our annual Year in Review reveals that we were extremely disappointed with 2009. However, it is Festivus, and the airing of our grievances against the entire year (and each other) is entirely appropriate. Our traditional Festivus pole, unadorned, is there, and our fets of strength has to be seen to be believed. Too bad this is radio.

Join us for our very special post-Thanksgiving review. Our furniture thieving, turkey frying, community outreaching, many-guest having, food decimating, beer swilling, fire extinguisher needing, Thanksgiving review.

Spam — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:43 +0000

Zee’s just gotten engaged, and registering for $200 pillows is not something he’ll forget soon. On that note, we jew down our listeners with a discussion of the so-called “shidduch crisis” sweeping through the Jewish singles community. And how do little Orthodox kids learn about sex? It’s not sex ed – it’s HBO.
